Basic Armlock Escape.

Let's take a look at this basic armlock escape shown here from Dave Camarillo.





Ok, now to be able to really perform well in Jiujitsu, you have to be able to think several moves ahead. Let's look at how we can immediately counter this basic armlock escape.
The Omoplata is the perfect counter to an armlock escape and there are several armlock escapes that it applies very well to.
If you watch carefully there is a spot where Mr. Camarillo (in white) has successfully begun to counter the armlock once his arms are properly placed and he has stacked his opponent.
It is at this precise spot that his opponent can choose to abandon his armlock and move into omoplata the timing has to be precise though.
As soon as he lets go of whites arm with his hands, he needs to grab the other arm and use his leg to force white to roll slightly forward to free up some space to get his hips out.
Once they have moved forward and blue's hips are out, he can reach over and grab white's belt or waist to prevent him from rolling forward.
He then secures the submission by leaning forward himself into his opponent, finalizing the submission.
Later on this week I'll be discussing more on the Omoplata countering an Armlock escape.
